"Brother, since we've improved so much, why don't we try out the power of 'Enchantress' now?"
"Perfect for testing the effects of the Heavenly Curtain reward!"
Xie Yue's eyes flashed with interest upon hearing this.
The improvent in strength can only be truly mastered through actual combat.
His gaze swept across the training ground, finally landing on Yan, who was not far away, sweating profusely as he honed his fire abilities against a giant rock.
"Yan!"
Xie Yue called out.
Yan, imrsed in his training rhythm, turned around upon hearing this, wiping his sweat: "Hmm? What's wrong, Xie Yue? Finished training?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the malicious smiles on Hu Liena and Xie Yue's faces, and the soul power fluctuations rising from their bodies, more harmonious and unified than before.
With a start, Yan imdiately understood what the brother and sister were up to. He shook his head vigorously, backing away repeatedly.
"No! Don't even think about it! Using as a punching bag? No way!"
What a joke!
Hu Liena and Xie Yue were already the two strongest mbers of the Golden Generation, and now, having both received the Heavenly Curtain reward, their soul power levels had increased by two levels.
Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, "Enchanting Charm," was already incredibly powerful, and now the Heavenly Curtain had specifically enhanced their Martial Soul Compatibility and Enchanting Domain... its power had increased several tis over!
He didn't want to be that unlucky guinea pig.
Even though his Fla Lord's defense had greatly increased after being enhanced by the immortal herb, he didn't want to withstand such an obviously overpowered attack.
"Yan, don't be afraid!"
Hu Liena smiled charmingly, her voice carrying a natural allure.
But to Yan at this mont, it sounded more like the whispers of a devil.
"We'll use... one-tenth of its power!"
"Really, just one-tenth! I promise it won't hurt you. We just want to see the changes and control over the fusion skill."
"Yeah, Yan, we're all partners, how could we hurt you?"
Xie Yue also chid in, though his expression remained cool.
"One-tenth? Who knows how much your one-tenth is?"
Yan looked incredulous.
"Last ti you said thirty percent, and you almost shattered my fla armor!"
"After this reward, your one-tenth will probably be even more powerful than the thirty percent last ti!"
"No way!"
Hu Liena and Xie Yue exchanged a helpless glance.
What Yan said was true; after the power of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill increased, it was indeed difficult to precisely control "how many percent" of its power.
But only the three of them were on the training ground at this mont.
Finally, after Hu Liena and Xie Yue repeatedly assured him, even promising to use only their "newly comprehended, most basic fusion form, without adding any powerful attack soul skills," and on the condition that Yan could defend with all his might, Yan reluctantly agreed, though his face still wore a death-defying expression.
"Fla Lord, Possess!"
Yan roared, and a torrent of violent dark red flas erupted from his body, enveloping him completely, forming a thick and ferocious suit of fla armor!
Runes flowed across the armor, radiating scorching heat and a solid texture.
"Co on! Let see just how much stronger your Martial Soul Fusion Skill really is!"
Yan said in a gruff voice, assuming a full defensive stance.
Hu Liena and Xie Yue exchanged a nod, saying nothing more.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Bewitching Charm!"
The two shouted simultaneously, their soul power surging forth like a burst dam!
Unlike before, this ti, the fusion between their soul power was several tis smoother!
A bewitching pink light and a sharp, blood-red aura intertwined perfectly in an instant, forming a surging pink mist domain over thirty ters in diater!
The mont the domain took shape, the light in the training ground seed to be swallowed up, becoming dim and hazy.
Yan, standing at the edge of the domain, even though he was prepared, felt a slight dizziness.
The surrounding scenery seed to distort, and he heard faint, seductive whispers in his ears. Even the flow of his own soul power beca slightly sluggish!
"Such strong domain interference! Is this really just the basic form?"
Yan was horrified. The ntal interference of this domain was far stronger than before!
What shocked him even more was... within the mist, the blurry, alluring yet sharp "enchanting" figure moved almost the instant the domain took shape!
There was no earth-shattering sound, only a pink streak of light so fast it almost left a afterimage.
Like a ghost, it pierced through space, heading straight for his chest!
"Fla Barrier!"
Yan dared not be careless. His second and third spirit rings lit up simultaneously, and several thick walls of fla instantly condensed in front of him.
At the sa ti, his fla armor shone brightly, its defensive power pushed to the limit.
However—
"Swoosh!"
A soft, tearing sound rang out.
The pink streak of light seed to ignore the barrier of the fla walls, or perhaps its sharpness had already exceeded the range that fla energy could withstand.
It easily pierced through layers of defense!
Finally, it gently struck the thickest part of Yan's fla armor on his chest.
There was no violent explosion, nor did flas scatter.
Yan only felt a force mixed with extre sharpness and strange vibration penetrate his body, and he groaned.
His feet uncontrollably staggered back seven or eight steps.
Each step left a deep, charred footprint on the hard training ground.
The fla armor on his chest visibly dimd, and a fine crack appeared, while his blood and qi churned violently within him!
The pink stream of light, after the attack, gracefully retreated into the mist.
The next mont, the mist rapidly dissipated!
Hu Liena and Xie Yue reappeared, their expressions normal.
Only a slight sheen of sweat on their foreheads showed that the seemingly effortless attack had actually been extrely skillful in terms of both consumption and control.
"Cough...cough cough!"
Yan steadied himself and rubbed his stuffy chest.
Looking at the crack on his armor, he stared in shock at the brother and sister who had finished their attack.
"You...you call this 10% power?"
"This power isn't much different from 50% before, is it?"
"And the speed, penetration, and that damned domain interference are all so much stronger!"
Hu Liena and Xie Yue also showed surprise and joy, exchanging a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
"Brother, our Martial Soul Fusion Skill seems to have really undergone a qualitative change."
Hu Liena felt the still surging and harmonious flow of soul power within her body.
"Not only has its power increased significantly, but it's also much easier to control, and the consumption of soul power seems to have decreased as well."
Xie Yue nodded, looking at the moon blade in her hand that was faintly humming. "The increased compatibility brings benefits in all aspects. The potential of the Demonic Artifact is probably greater than we imagined."
Yan walked over and said with a wry smile, "You should find others to test your moves on in the future. My old bones can't take this kind of torture."
"However, congratulations on becoming stronger."
Hu Liena smiled sweetly, "Thanks, Yan, it's also thanks to your help in the verification."
As the three were talking, hurried footsteps suddenly ca from outside the training ground. A deacon from the Spirit Hall rushed over and bowed respectfully.
"Your Highness, Lord Xie Yue, Lord Yan. His Holiness the Pope summons you. Please proceed to the Papal Palace imdiately."
The three's expressions turned solemn, knowing that it must be because of the rankings.
A confident light flashed in Hu Liena and Xie Yue's eyes!
After this verification, they were filled with even greater confidence in their own strength and the future of their fusion technique.
Beidou Academy.
Unlike most people outside, Lu Xiao wasn't intently watching the rankings displayed on the screen.
He was observing and analyzing, trying to decipher the complex evaluation logic behind this "Martial Soul Fusion Skill Ranking."
"Netherworld White Tiger, tenth."
"Ice and Snow Drift, ninth."
"Dragon and Snake Combination, eighth."
"Enchanting Demon, seventh... "
Lu Xiao's fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, his mind racing.
"The Dragon and Snake Combination can threaten a Title Douluo, its power seems greatest, yet its ranking is close to Ice and Snow Drift and Enchanting Demon!"
"This clearly shows that destructive power isn't the primary criterion."
His gaze swept out the window, landing on two girls in the distance, quietly discussing the rankings.
Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling.
Ning Rongrong, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the number one support-type weapon martial soul in the world.
Ye Lingling, Nine Heart Begonia, with the help of the screen, broke through the shackles of her martial soul!
More importantly, through a series of coincidences and long-term tacit cooperation, the two girls' martial souls had given birth to an extrely special, almost unheard-of, auxiliary martial soul fusion skill!
Its effect was neither offensive nor defensive!
In terms of direct lethality, it was practically zero!
But its strategic value, in certain situations, might far exceed ten offensive fusion skills.
"Rongrong and Lingling's fusion skill, if judged solely on destructive power, probably wouldn't even qualify for the list," Lu Xiao pondered. "But the Heavenly Curtain hasn't announced their nas yet, and their martial soul fusion skill absolutely cannot be unqualified for the list!"
"Therefore, the only explanation is that the Heavenly Curtain's evaluation system gives extrely high weight to factors such as martial soul quality, soul master potential, the rarity of the fusion skill, and its strategic value!"
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
At this mont, above the Heavenly Curtain, the milky white light began to surge violently once more!
An even more magnificent and profound aura began to perate, foreshadowing that the rankings to be announced next would be even more astonishing!
The sixth place winner is about to be revealed!
Everyone's curiosity has reached its peak!
